Smothering Delight! Hoshino Yuubari VS. RJ Kingsley

Smother match!

Standard wrestling rules apply, however to win, you must either KO, submit, or pin your opponent with a smother

"This is my first match?!" Hoshino said with significant incredulity. She read the rules again, eyes widening at the win condition. "A smother match? Really?"

Her manager and trainer shrugged. "You said you wanted to fight someone your own size, that's what was available," she said, "I mean, it's not going to be so bad. Just think of it as a very specific way to pin your opponent!"

Hoshino looked up, face blushing from the embarrassment. Before she could protest though, her manager put a finger on her lips to silence her. "If you want to make it in this league, you'll have to do far more embarrassing things than getting your face sat on," she said, "Honestly this is rather tame by AFW standards. Just be glad I didn't throw you into the deep end to start!"

Hoshino scowled, crumpling the paper up in her hands. "I did sign up for this," she said, "There's no backing out, I'll have to do what I must!"

"That's the spirit! Now go out there and be a winner!"

Hoshino took a deep breath as she got up and strode out of the change rooms. She looked at herself in the mirror, making sure her wrestling outfit was all in place, boots laced, panty hose straight, skirt loose, top smoothed. She took a moment to re-tie her hair, making sure it was firmly held back out of her face and eyes. In truth, she was trying to delay a little before having to go out and fight, but now there was no more time to waste.

Hoshino stepped out onto the ramp as her upbeat entrance music played over the speakers. The crowd gave a few appreciative cheers, they knew what kind of match this was going to be, and seeing such a young-looking and small girl come out, they fully expected her to be squashed and smothered. More than a few of them let her know that, jeering at her as she made her way to the ring. Hoshino was eager to prove them wrong.

Spoiler:

She decided to show the crowd a little bit of her athletic ability, just to shut them up a little. She took off at the ring in a run, showing her speed as she closed the distance. She then jumped up, grabbing onto the top ropes, using them to vault herself upwards. She flipped through the air and landed right in the middle of the ring gracefully, her gymnastics training shining through. That elicited a few more appreciative cheers from the crowd, though they still sounded quite rude. Hoshino elected to ignore them for the time being, resting in her corner as she waited for her opponent.

RJ grinned as she stretched out to prepare herself for her imminent match, giving herself a pep talk! She didn't exactly need a pep talk, per se, but she always gave herself one before a match.

"You're gonna kill 'er, RJ! This is your kind of match, so the odds are in your favor!" She spoke decisively, pumping herself up and inflating her already swollen ego. She gave a brisk shake of her head, twintails swinging around a bit before she marched to the door and left the locker room, tugging her shorts up into her signature wedgie as she did.

People didn't tend to interact with RJ as she walked through the halls and this walk from the locker room to the curtain line was no different. She always assumed it was something to do with the naturally intimidating presence that came with her level of skill. It certainly couldn't have been anything else! She reached the curtain line and placed her hands on her hips, waiting for the start of her intro music, which would cue her to make her way to the arena. Once her music started, an excited grin split her face and she burst through the curtains to the mix of boos and wolf whistles she was used to. She made her way to the arena, laughing and showing off.

Spoiler:

Once she made it to the ring, she hopped up onto the apron and got into the ring, showing off her butt as she passed over the middle rope. She finally took a look at her opponent as she lounged against the post in her corner, noting the outfit reminiscent of a school uniform.

"Oy, y'know you ain't in class, yeah?" RJ snarked, thinking the remark was very clever. She cracked her knuckles and limbered up once again.

"But if you want to learn, I can certainly teach you a lesson or three!"

Hoshino was busy stretching in her corner as she awaited her opponent's appearance. She kicked her legs up onto the top rope, stretching them deeply while also showing off her gymnast-level flexibility. When her opponent's music came on, she turned to the jumbotron to see exactly what she was facing. The description she got on paper was quite accurate, RJ was very blonde, very small, and very fiesty. Hoshino wondered if she could keep up with someone with that energy level.

She maintained her composure as RJ entered the ring, holding back her nervousness. She opened her mouth, about to greet her opponent with some before the match banter, but before she could RJ's thick accent cut her off.

"Eh?" Hoshino said, mouth dropping a little. Now that was unexpected. Though the Japanese girl had read about RJ's origins, she had no idea what her accent sounded like. Now that she was hearing it in person, it clashed so hard with her adorably tiny appearance that Hoshino couldn't help but start giggling.

"What is this?" Hoshino said between giggles. She walked up to RJ, towering over the tiny blonde despite her own small stature.

"Who let this sassy-mouthed little kid into the ring?" Hoshino asked loudly, seemingly trying to get either the referee's or the announcer's attention. She reached a hand up to pat RJ on her head. "There there," she said, babying RJ in the most patronizing way she could muster, "Don't worry, one-sama will help you find your parents!"

RJ noted Hoshino's surprise as she started talking, and decided to forgive her for it. She knew her accent was amazing, so it was no huge shock that her opponent was overwhelmed by it! She was about to reassure her opponent when she started giggling! What?! Hoshino walked up to her, having three whole inches on the brash Brit. RJ glared up at her opponent with narrowed eyes, hands on her hips as the girl taunted her. The last straw was her opponent patting her on the head! She slapped her hand away with a growl.

"You've made yourself an enemy, you bloody air-'ead!" She snarled, backing away before Hoshino could touch her again. She stalked back to her corner, hands balled up into fists. She was practically seething as she stared daggers at her opponent, waiting for the bell to ring. As soon as it did, she charged out of the corner! She wanted to grab Hoshino and make her pay as soon as possible, so as she closed on her opponent, she tried to grab her wrist and whip her towards the ropes on the opposite side of the ring.

Hoshino feigned surprise when RJ slapped her hand away. The spunky tiny blonde's furious reaction brought a real smile of satisfaction to her face. It seemed like her mental games worked, and she had successfully riled RJ up and got into her head. Not that it was a difficult task, of course, but to the inexperienced Hoshino it was a small win.

"Kawaii~" Hoshino said, "It's so cute when you try to threaten me! Don't be a naughty girl now, otherwise one-sama will have to punish you!"

She wagged a finger at RJ before stepping back into her corner. As soon as the bell rang the green speedster also rushed out. However, it seemed that the blonde's anger made her just a bit faster, as she grabbed Hoshino and whipper her out to the ropes seemingly before she could react!

Hoshino spun around as she reached the ropes, leaning back and bouncing off of them like she was an expert. With the momentum change, she came barreling back at full speed at RJ, hair and skirt whipping in the wind from her speed.

"Take this!" Hoshino yelled as she jumped up, kicking both her legs out and using her forward momentum to deliver a dropkick right into RJ's small chest!

RJ's face turned pink with anger as Hoshino continued to patronize and belittle her. As she rushed her opponent right out of the gate, it seemed that the taller girl had the same idea! However, RJ's natural speed had been accentuated by her pure rage. She was unprepared, however, for Hoshino managing to take advantage of bouncing off the ropes and come back with a hard dropkick to the small blonde's chest! RJ was knocked flat, groaning and letting out a cough as she wrapped an arm around her chest.

"Don't think this means anything! You're still gonna lose, you just wait!" She got to her feet and turned around, running and trying to use the ropes to get enough momentum to slide between Hoshino's legs and pop up with a jumping kick to her back!

By the time RJ was standing, Hoshino was already up waiting for her. She had her hands on her hips, looking down at the angry little blonde. She had to admit that RJ was tougher than she imagined, as she fully expected her dropkick to have wiped out someone so small. But it seemed that RJ was able to recover without being hurt too much.

"Maybe you will be a little bit of a challenge," Hoshino mused. She didn't have much time to think though, as the firstly little blonde was already winding up for another attack. Hoshino readied herself to dodge whatever was coming, tensing her body as she saw RJ bounce off the ropes to come straight at her.

"That won't work!" Hoshino said. She saw RJ going down low, and jumped up to avoid the attack. But it was a ruse, which she realized far too late. RJ instead got a wide open path to slide underneath Hoshino, appearing behind her right as the green-haired athlete landed.

"Crap!" Hoshino swore, trying to turn around as fast as she could. But at this distance, no matter how fast she was she would be way too slow. RJ's kick smashed into her upper back, knocking the wind out of Hoshino and sending her tumbling down onto the mats.

"Gah!" Hoshino gasped. She barely broke her fall, landing rather painfully on her hands and knees. She would try to get up quickly, though with her wide open like this, would RJ give her any chance?

RJ smirked as she managed to slide beneath Hoshino. The silly girl thought she was going for a simple low attack! Ha!

"You've mucked it up now, 'aven't you?" She teased her opponent with a shit-eating grin as she managed to kick Hoshino onto all fours.

"Yep, you've really stepped in it, goin' on at me like I'm some kinda child!" She laughed as she aimed another nasty kick at Hoshino as the poor girl tried to get to her feet.

"Just don't forget you're on your tod in 'ere. Even the ref can only do so much for you."

Hoshino was just starting to get up when she saw RJ coming at her again from the corner of her eye. "Not good!" she thought, quickly changing plans and rolling to the side as fast as she could, but not quite fast enough. RJ's boot caught her right on her side, making Hoshino yelp out in pain. The kick sent the young fighter into a roll towards the side of the ring as she tried to put distance between the herself and RJ.

"Gotta recover quickly," Hoshino said through gritted teeth. An idea dawned in her head. She knew RJ was going to come after her again, after all she had pissed off the tiny blonde quite a bit. So she decided to play dead, taking even more time to get up than before, making it look like that kick hurt way worse than it actually did.

When RJ got close though, that was when Hoshino would strike. Her target would be RJ's legs, as the second RJ got into range Hoshino would coil her body up and release like a spring, aiming both her heels at RJ's shins to take out both her feet at once and send her to the mats!

RJ let out a cackle as her second kick landed - glancingly, but still - and watched Hoshino, waiting for her to come to a stop from her roll. Once her opponent stopped rolling, she dashed forward eagerly, wanting to pile on more punishment.

"Hyyyyaaaaaah!" RJ yelped as Hoshino's feet slammed into her shins, forcing her feet to skid out from under her and making her slam onto her knees and then her chest with a thunderous crash! RJ rolled onto her back, groaning from the impact and cursing herself internally.
